Scientists map hidden brain vessels in hunt for headache cure
NCT ID NCT05762367
Summary
This study aimed to understand the cause of idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH), a rare condition that causes severe headaches and vision problems in young women. Researchers used a special high-resolution MRI technique to compare tiny drainage vessels in the brain lining between 20 patients with IIH and 20 healthy volunteers. The goal was to see if problems with these lymphatic vessels contribute to fluid buildup and pressure in the brain.
